Munich

     Watching One Day in September was very difficult for me. The documentary was extremely powerful and I found myself overwhelmed with emotion while watching it. The massacre was a tragedy and I do think that its still casts a shadow over the modern world. It shows that we are not as prepared as we though we were about incidences like this. Obviously the German government wasn't prepared and their lack of planning and organization for the rescue mission was appalling. The documentary shows that we need to do better in protecting the people. I believe that this massacre could have been prevented if there had been some simple security measures in place.

     There are a ton of unintended consequences for those who commit random acts of terror. They are sometimes shunned from their home country. They have to constantly hide because there are probably numerous attempts on their life. They also have to live with the massacre that they caused and whatever follows. I will never understand what drives someone to commit an act of terror.
